About Us

Friends of the Earth Far North Queensland (FoE FNQ) was formed in 2005, originally known as FoE Kuranda. Brought together by concern about land clearing for a new highway, we now work regionally with other local and national groups on a wide range of issues.

Our aims are:

• To lobby for carbon neutral economies locally, regionally and nationally.
• To raise awareness of the positive actions communities can take on climate change.
• To support communities nationally and internationally in adapting to climate induced natural disasters.
• To work for climate justice. 
• To reverse the loss of biodiversity and prevent the extinction of vulnerable, threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna - especially keystone species such as the southern cassowary and flying foxes, the seed dispersal agents of the tropical rainforests.
• To work with and lobby local, State and Federal Governments for sustainable town and regional planning, so preventing any more habitat fragmentation and destruction.
• To protect watercourses and restore them back to clean, healthy and living ecosystems.
• To enhance soil health by campaigning for better agricultural practices and promoting regenerative agriculture.
• To campaign for First Nations' land rights and recognition and restitution of past injustices.
• To work for socially inclusive communities that are safe places for everyone.
